UE (200) performs Asymmetric ROHC that applies header compression in a packet data convergence protocol layer to either an uplink or a downlink. The UE (200) includes a data transmitting-receiving unit (220) that receives from eNB a support notification indicating that the Asymmetric ROHC is supported and a capability notifying unit (240) that notifies, when the data transmitting-receiving unit (220) receives the support notification, the eNB of information to be used for setting the Asymmetric ROHC by including a profile of the Asymmetric ROHC in capability information of the UE (200).
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A radio communication device comprising: a receiver that receives from an opposing radio communication device a capability information of the opposing radio communication device including a profile of asymmetric header compression and a number of sessions usable for header compression, the profile of the asymmetric header compression being a RObust Header Compression (ROHC) supported in uplink-only ROHC operation by the opposing radio communication device; and a processor that recognizes support of the asymmetric header compression by the opposing radio communication device based on the received capability information, wherein the radio communication device performs the asymmetric header compression in which the header compression being the ROHC is applied in a packet data convergence protocol layer to either an uplink or a downlink, and wherein a number of sessions for the header compression applicable to either the uplink or the downlink is based on a number of sessions usable for the header compression.
2. A radio communication device comprising: a processor coupled to a transmitter that: notifies an opposing radio communication device of capability information of the radio communication device including a profile of asymmetric header compression, the profile of the asymmetric header compression being a Robust Header Compression (ROHC) supported in uplink-only ROHC operation by the opposing radio communication device, and notifies of the capability information including a field indicating contents of symmetric header compression in which header compression is applied in both an uplink and a downlink and a field indicating contents of the asymmetric header compression that is different from the field indicating contents of the symmetric header compression, wherein the radio communication device performs the asymmetric header compression in which the header compression being the ROHC is applied in a packet data convergence protocol layer to either the uplink or the downlink.
3. A radio communication method implemented on a radio communication device comprising: receiving from an opposing radio communication device a capability information of the opposing radio communication device including a profile of asymmetric header compression and a number of sessions usable for header compression, the profile of the asymmetric header compression being a RObust Header Compression (ROHC) supported in uplink-only ROHC operation by the opposing radio communication device; and recognizing support of the asymmetric header compression by the opposing radio communication device based on the received capability information, wherein the radio communication device performs the asymmetric header compression in which the header compression being the ROHC is applied in a packet data convergence protocol layer to either an uplink or a downlink, and wherein a number of sessions for the header compression applicable to either the uplink or the downlink is based on the number of sessions usable for the header compression.
4. A radio communication method implemented on a radio communication device comprising: including in capability information of the radio communication device including a profile of asymmetric header compression and a field indicating contents of symmetric header compression in which header compression is applied in both an uplink and a downlink and a field indicating contents of the asymmetric header compression that is different from the field indicating contents of the symmetric header compression, the profile of the asymmetric header compression being a Robust Header Compression (ROHC) supported in uplink-only ROHC operation by an opposing radio communication device; and notifying the opposing radio communication device of the capability information, wherein the radio communication device performs the asymmetric header compression in which the header compression being the ROHC is applied in a packet data convergence protocol layer to either the uplink or the downlink.
